Owner s Manual Printed in the U.S.A December, 2000 Revised: March 2001, September 2002, April 2004, July 2005 Sea Ray Boats, Inc. A Brunswick Company MRP # The following are registered trademarks of the Brunswick Corporation: Sea Ray & The SR Wave Logo

11 SECTION 1 SAFETY SAFE boating means: Knowing the limitations of your boat; Following the rules of the road; Keeping a sharp lookout for people and objects in the water; Not boating in water or weather conditions that are beyond the boat s and the operator s capability; Never boating when the operator is under the influence of drugs or alchohol; Being aware of your passenger s safety at all times; and Reducing speed when there is limited visibility, rough water, nearby people in the water, boats, or structures. Boating in beautiful weather and calm water conditions can be a wonderful experience. Pleasurable boating, however, requires considerably greater skills than operating a land vehicle. To obtain these skills, you must: Take a Coast Guard, U.S. Power Squadron or equivalent boating safety course. Call the Boat/ U.S. Foundation at for information on available courses. Get hands-on training on how to operate your boat properly. In addition: Maintain your boat and its safety and other systems as recommended in this manual. Have the boat inspected by a qualified mechanic or dealer, at least annually. Ensure that the Coast Guard required safety equipment is on board and functions. (See page 1.3). 1. SAFETY LABELS Safety precautions are given throughout this manual and labels are mounted at key locations throughout the boat. This safety information advises the owner/ operator and passengers of imperative safety precautions to follow when operating and/or servicing equipment.engine serial numbers and part numbers when writing about or ordering parts for your engine. Refer to the Engine Operator s Manual for locations of engine serial numbers and record them for future reference. Figure shows the location of the safety labels on your boat. Do not remove or obstruct any safety label. Replace any label which becomes illegible. Replacement safety labels can be obtained by calling your dealer or Sea Ray at SRBOATS for information on how to contact the manufacturing facility for your boat. The meaning associated with each of the four basic types of label is:! DANGER DANGER Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored.! WARNING WARNING Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored.! CAUTION CAUTION Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor injury or product or property damage if the warning is ignored. NOTICE Information which is important to proper operation or maintenance, but is not hazard-related. 1.1

12 SECTION 1 SAFETY 2. LEGALLY MANDATED MINIMUM REQUIRED EQUIPMENT Consult your national boating law enforcement agency. The following equipment is the minimum required by the U.S. Coast Guard for a boat less than 26 [7.9 meters] in length. Personal Flotation Devices (PFD s): One Coast Guard approved Type I, II or LLL device is mandatory for each person aboard. One throwable Type LV device is also required to be on board. A Type V device is acceptable if worn for approved use. See Page 1.5 for a description of these PFD classifications. Always wear a PFD when boating. Fire Extinguisher - Portable: If no fixed fire extinguishing system is installed in the engine and generator spaces, the U.S. Coast Guard requires one (1) Type B-1 fire extinguisher be on board. The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) recommends that you have two (2) Type ABC fire extinguishers on board. One is to be located at the helm station and the other in the cabin, near the cockpit door. Whistle, Horn: You must have on board some means of making a loud sound signal, for example, whistle or horn. Visual Distress Signals: If you operate your boat in coastal waters or on the Great Lakes, you must have visual distress signals for day and night use on board. At least three (3) U.S. Coast Guard approved pyrotechnic devices marked with date showing service life must be carried, be readily accessible, in serviceable condition and not expired. Store pyrotechnic signals in a well-marked waterproof container in a dry location. Other: Your Sea Ray is equipped with the required navigation lights, engine exhaust and ventilation systems. 3. FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM Your boat is equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher system. Located in the engine compartment. In the event of a fire, the heat sensitive automatic head in the engine compartment will release a fire-extinguishing vapor, totally flooding the area. The dashboard contains an indicator light for the automatic fire extinguishing system. The light will be ON when the ignition is on and indicates that the system is ready. If the light goes out while the ignition is on, the system has discharged. WHEN DISCHARGE OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED VENTILATION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE FIRE AND THE FIRE COULD RESTART. Wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before opening the engine compartment. This permits the fireextinguishing vapor to soak the compartment long enough for hot metals and fuels to cool. Have portable extinguishers at hand and ready to use in case the fire reignites. Do not breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire. 4. CARBON MONOXIDE Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness, ears ringing, headaches, nausea and unconsciousness. A poisoning victim s skin often! DANGER Fumes from engine, generators, and other equipment and appliances using burning fuel contain carbon monxide. Carbon Monoxide can kill you. Open all doors, curtains, windows, and hatches to let fresh air circulate, when running engine, generator or burning any fuel when boat is anchored, moored or docked. 1.2

13 SECTION 1 SAFETY! DANGER Even in rainy cold weather ventilation must be maintained to avoid Carbon Monoxide poisoning. You will get wet and/or cold.! DANGER Sleeping on boat requires a operating Carbon Monoxide detection system in each sleeping location. turns cherry red. Because carbon monoxide gas (CO) is odorless, colorless and tasteless, it is unlikely to be noticed until a person is overcome. Dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide will be present if: the engine and/or generator exhaust systems leak; insufficient fresh air is circulating where people are present; and fumes move from the rear of the boat into the cockpit and cabin area. Figure gives examples of boat operating conditions that can lead to high concentrations of carbon monoxide gas. To minimize the danger of CO accumulation when the engine and/or generator are running, or using burning fuel applications. Be sure to have sufficient ventilation when using canvas or window-type side curtains when underway, anchored, moored or docked. If the convertible top is installed, operate with the forward hatch open and leave cabin door open. Operate all burning fuel appliances, such as charcoal, propane, LPG, CNG or alcohol cooking devices in areas where fresh air can circulate. Do not use such devices where there is no noticeable air movement, especially in the cabin, when anchored, moored or docked. Do not idle engine without moving boat for more than 15 minutes at a time. Inspect the exhaust system regularly. (See Section 8, Required Inspection, Service and Maintenance. If CO poisoning is suspected, have the victim breath fresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. A victim often revives, then relapses because organs are damaged by lack of oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention. A. CARBON MONOXIDE MONITOR You boat has carbon monoxide (CO) monitors mounted throughout the boat. The CO monitor is an electronic instrument that detects CO. When there is a buildup of CO, the monitor will alert the occupants by a flashing DANGER light and alarm. The CO monitor is wired through a breaker on the DC distribution panel. It is extremely important that you become totally familiar with your CO monitor and its functions. Read and understand the CO monitor information and operating instructions located in your Owner s Manual Packet. 5. LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT Even strong swimmers can tire quickly in the water and drown due to exhaustion, hypothermia, or both. The buoyancy provided by a personal flotation device (PFD) will allow the person who has fallen overboard to remain afloat with far less effort and heat loss, extending survival time necessary to find and retrieve them. Boat operators are required to carry one wearable personal flotation device (Type I,II,III or V) for every person on board. Boats must also have at least one throwable device (Type IV). The law requires that PFD s must be readily accessible, if not worn. Readily accessible means removed from storage bags and unbuckled. But, 1.3

ILLUSTRATION #E WINDS BLOWING EXHAUST TOWARD BOAT OCCUPANTS. ILLUSTRATION #C GOOD VENTILATION. ILLUSTRATION #F children and nonswimmers must wear PFDs at all times when aboard. It is common sense to have everyone on board wearing PFDs. A throwable device must also be right at hand and ready to toss. A. PFD CLASSIFICATIONS (FIG ) Off-Shore Life Jacket (Type I) most buoyant, it is designed to turn an unconscious person face up; used in all types of waters where rescue may be slow, particularly in cold or rough conditions. (FIG ) (FIG ) Flotation Aid (Type III) vest is designed so conscious wearers can turn face up; often designed for comfort while engaged in sports such as skiing. Throwable Devices (Type IV) horseshoe buoys, ring buoys and buoyant cushions are designed to be grasped, not worn. (FIG ) Near-Shore Life Vest (Type II) keyhole vest with flotation-filled head and neck support is also designed to turn a person face up, but the turning action is not as pronounced; used in calm, inland waters or where quick rescue is likely. (FIG ) Special-Use Devices (Type V) sailboat harnesses, white-water vests, float coats, and hybrid vests which have minimum inherent buoyancy and an inflatable chamber. 1.4

15 SECTION 1 SAFETY Before purchasing PFDs, ensure that there is an attached tag indicating they are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard or by your national boating law enforcement agency. Children and nonswimmers must wear PFDs at all times when aboard. All passengers and crew should wear them. A loose PFD is often useless in an emergency. The operator is responsible for instructing everyone aboard on the location and use of PFDs. Size PFDs for the wearer. Children require special attention in the use of PFDs. Test PFD buoyancy at least once a year. 6. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT FOR SAFE OPERATION In addition to legally mandated equipment, the following items are necessary for safe boating, especially if your boat is out of sight of land. First aid kit Visual distress signals for day and night use (required in some areas; consult local regulations) Charts of your intended cruising area Compass GPS or Loran position locating devices Marine VHF radio with weather channels Emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) Manual bilge pump Moisture repellant Anchors, chain and line (The anchors must be properly sized for your boat. Ask your dealer or marine supply store for recommendations). Mooring lines Fenders Boat hook Waterproof flashlight(s) Extra batteries for flashlights and portable electronic devices High power spotlight, if you intend to boat at night Spare keys Instruction manuals for engine and accessories Lubricating oil Tool kit: - Assorted screwdrivers (Phillips and flat blade) - Pliers (regular, vise-grip, and tongue & groove) - Wrenches (box, open-end, allen, adjustable) - Socket set (metric or U.S. Standard as appropriate) - Electrical tape and duct tape - Hammer - Utility Knife Spare parts kit (spark plugs, fuses, hose clamps and ask your dealer to recommend other parts) Extra propeller 7. IMPAIRED OPERATION Drugs and/or alcohol will prevent you from operating your boat safely. This single factor is involved in more marine accidents and deaths than any other. The detrimental effects of alcohol and drugs are increased by the wind, waves and sun, quickly impairing your ability to react properly and promptly in an emergency. 8. LOAD CAPACITY! WARNING Drugs and/or alcohol impair the operator s ability to control the boat safely. Death or serious injury can result from improper boat operation. The certification plate (See fig & 1.6.2) located near the helm indicates maximum weight and number of persons your boat can handle under calm sea conditions. Do not exceed the load 1.5

16 SECTION 1 SAFETY capacities stated. The number of people on board must be reduced if you go out in poor weather and rough water. The information present on the certification plate does not relieve the operator from responsibility. Use common sense and sound judgement when placing equipment and/or passengers in your boat. Do not load to capacity in poor weather or rough water.

Above idle speed, all passengers must be seated on the seats provided. 9. POWER CAPACITY Do not exceed the maximum engine power rating stated on the certification plate. Your boat will be difficult to handle and will be less stable. 1.6! WARNING When engine is running, keep passengers away from areas not designed for riding, such as seat backs, bow, gunwales, transom platform, swim platform, front and rear decks and on sun pads. Passengers can fall overboard if not seated properly on the seats provided.! DANGER Never carry more weight or passengers than indicated on the certification plate, regardless of weather or water conditions. The boat can capsize, swamp or sink. Your Sea Ray has been equipped with a propeller which our tests have shown to be the best suited for general use with our engine under normal conditions and load. Do not change the pitch of your propeller without getting your dealer s recommendations first. If you change to a different propeller pitch, under no circumstances use a propeller which allows the engine to operate at higher than recommended RPM. (your engine manual specifies the maximum recommended (RPM). To maintain rated power, propellers should be free of nicks, excessive pitting and any distortions that alter them from their original design. Badly damaged propellers should be replaced, but those that are

17 SECTION 1 SAFETY chipped, bent or merely out of shape can be reconditioned by your marine dealer. It is advisable to carry an extra propeller aboard in case you damage the one in use. 10. STABILITY Your boat was manufactured to specific stability and flotation standards for the capacity shown on the certification plate. Any increase from the recommended load capacities will put your boat in jeopardy of capsizing, swamping and/or sinking. IN ADDITION: Stability may be substantially reduced if equipment is added above the deck. Stability is substantially reduced by loose fluids or weight within the hull. Keep bilge area as dry as possible, and close all openings, hatches and windows in rough weather.! WARNING Distribute passengers and gear as uniformly as possible from front to rear and left to right. The manufacturer s load rating is the maximum allowed under calm conditions. Reduce boat loading if weather, water or other conditions are adverse. 11. MAINTAIN CONTROL On the water there are no marked traffic lanes, no traffic signs or lights, and boats have no turn signals. The boat operator must keep her or his attention focused not only on what s ahead but what s on the left, right and behind the boat. Your passengers are relying on you to operate and maneuver the boat safely so that they are not in danger of going overboard. If you turn to quickly, increase or decrease speed abruptly, your passengers are at risk of being thrown overboard or thrown about the boat. When visibility becomes impaired because of weather, time of day or high bow angle you must slow down so that you have sufficient time to react if an emergency occurs. Nearby boats face similar risks in avoiding a collision with you.! WARNING Death or serious injury can result if you fail to observe these safety rules: Anyone who controls the boat must have taken a boating safety course and have trained in the proper operation of the boat. Always operate the boat at speeds that will not put people or property in danger. Be constantly aware of conditions in all directions when underway and before turning. Reduce speed, use a lookout to identify possible hazards or difficulties, and turn on navigation lights when: - visibility is impaired; - in rough water; and - in congested waterways. Watch your wake. It can capsize a small boat or damage moored boats or other property. You are responsible for damage caused by your wake. The operator must always be alert to approaching boats (from the rear, right and left sides, as well as those ahead). There can be people in the water, partially submerged debris, and other navigational hazards such as rocks, sand bars, dangerous currents, to name a few. A. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Know how your boat handles under different conditions. Recognize your limitations and the boat s limitations. Modify speed in keeping with weather, sea and traffic conditions. 1.7

18 SECTION 1 SAFETY Instruct passengers on location and use of safety equipment and procedures. Instruct passengers on the fundamentals of operating your boat in case you are unable to do so. You are responsible for passenger s actions. If they place themselves or the boat in danger, immediately correct them. Observe the safety rules listed below. 12. WEATHER There are four design categories of boats based upon their ability to withstand wind and sea or water conditions: A. Ocean Wind speed: above 40 knots (46 mph) Wave height: above 4 meters (13 feet) Boat may be used for extended ocean voyages. B. Offshore Maximum wind speed: 40 knots (46 mph) Maximum wave height: 4 meters (13 feet) Boat can be used offshore, but not for extended ocean voyages. C. Inshore Maximum wind speed: 27 knots (31 mph) Maximum wave height: 2 meters (6.5 feet) Boat use is limited to coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers. D. Sheltered waters Maximum wind speed: 15 knots (18 mph) Maximum wave height: 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) Boat use is limited to small lakes, rivers and canals. Your 225 Weekender is Design Category C. The wind speed and wave height specified as the upper limit for your category of boat does not mean that you or your passengers can survive if your boat is exposed to these conditions. It is only the most experienced operators and crew that may be able 1.8 to operate a boat safely under these conditions. You must always be aware of weather conditions and head for port or protected waters in sufficient time to avoid being caught in high winds and rough water. Do not take chances!! DANGER DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOAT IN SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR GET TO SHORE BEFORE THE WEATHER TURNS BAD Getting caught in severe weather is hazardous. Bad weather and/or rough sea or water conditions can cause an unsafe situation. Consult local weather information, or listen to the NOAA weather reports for the latest weather conditions or any impending deterioration of the weather before setting out and while underway. Following are a few basic weatherrelated rules: Check the weather forecast and the water conditions before leaving and while underway. A sudden change in wind direction or speed or an increase in wave height indicates deteriorating weather. Have everyone wear a personal flotation device. If a storm approaches, immediately seek a safe harbor. If a storm hits, have everyone sit in the cabin or on the cockpit deck in the boat. Head the bow into the wind with enough power to maintain slow headway. If you encounter fog, determine your position, set a safe course, slow down and alert other boats of your presence with a sound signal. If a lightning storm approaches, the safest action is to dock and disembark. If you cannot return to shore, have passengers go inside the cabin and remain there until the storm passes.

19 SECTION 1 SAFETY Lightning seeks a ground when it strikes. The best protection is a properly grounded lightning rod placed high enough over the deck to provide a protective umbrella over the hull. Depending upon the likelyhood of your being in a lightning storm, consult your dealer for installation of a lightning rod. Stay clear of the lightning rod, all attached wiring and all metal parts of the boat. Stay out of the water during a lightning storm. If caught swimming during a storm, get back into the boat and remain there until the storm passes. 13. CHART YOUR COURSE! WARNING Hitting an object in or under the water or boating in dangerous currents can cause serious injury or death to boat occupants. You must know where the hazards are and avoid them. In uncharted waters, boat very slowly and post a lookout. To avoid boating in unsafe areas where there are underwater obstructions, shallow water, unnavigable conditions such as dangerous currents, and others, you must chart a course. This means having and using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charts for coastal waters, observing and understanding all navigational aids, using the knowledge and guidance of experienced boaters, and being aware of the tide times where appropriate.! WARNING Shut engine off if an object is struck or if you run aground. Check for hull leaks and drive line damage, before restarting engines. Use hand pump if bilge pumps don t remove water. Boat very slowly, if you must proceed with a damaged drive line. If you are in an unfamiliar area without knowledge of the hazards, proceed very slowly and have someone watch for hazards. Let others know where you are going. A float plan describes your intended cruising course and itinerary, boat description, and your expected time and date of return. Give the float plan to a friend or relative, so they can give the information to a national boat agency, like the U.S. Coast Guard, in the event you fail to return. 14. WATER SPORTS A. SWIMMING! WARNING Your boat can kill or injure persons in the water. Always stay away from areas designated for swimming or diving. Unless you are towing a skier, stay away from water ski areas. Recognize markers used for such areas. When engine is running, close and lock transom door and do not permit anyone to use boarding ladder and swim platform. Do not permit anyone to swim from a moving boat, or a boat with an engine running. Many localities prohibit swimming from boats except in designated areas. Make sure boat s engines are turned off before allowing people to swim anywhere near your boat. Shut the engine OFF and remove the key from the ignition switch so that nobody will accidentally start the engine while swimmers are nearby. Turn off engines when taking swimmers or skiers aboard or when they are entering the water. Never permit use of the transom or swim platform while engines are running. Slow down and look for swimmers or skiers when cruising in an area where there might be persons in the water. 1.9

20 SECTION 1 SAFETY B. SKIING Skiers must wear an approved PFD. It is advised that you become familiar with water skiing safety and hand signals as you will most likely, on occasion, find yourself in the vicinity of or engaging in water skiing activity. Anyone who water skis must know how to swim. Never drive the boat directly behind a water skier. At 22 knots (25 m.p.h.), it takes only 5 seconds to overtake a fallen skier who was 60 meters (200 feet) in front. Keep a downed skier in sight and on the operator s side of the boat when approaching the skier. Never back up to anyone in the water. Learn the signals to communicate with a skier. The skier is to control the boat through hand signals (Fig ). Turn Arm raised, circle with index finger extended. Skier in Water Extend one ski vertically out of water. Back to Dock Pat top of head. SKIING SIGNALS (FIG )! WARNING Cut Motor Draw finger across throat. Slow Down Thumb pointed down or palm down, move hand up and down. Faster Thumb pointed up or palm up, move hand up and down. OK Raise arm and form a circle with thumb and index finger. Stop Raise arm with palm vertical and facing forward. Turn Right Extend arm out from body to the right. Turn Left Extend arm out from body to the left. OK After a Fall Clasp hands together overhead. If the skier suddenly releases the tow rope, it can backlash into cockpit. Spotters who are watching the skier must be aware of this fact and be prepared to deflect the rope by hand to avoid injury. C. DIVING Recognize and respect diving flags (Fig ). Keep at least 30 meters (100 feet) away. Sport Divers Flag Red flag with diagonal white stripe marks a diver in the water. Code Alpha Flag Blue and white pennant designates boat being used in dive operations. TURN TURN RIGHT TURN LEFT STOP DIVERS FLAGS (FIG ) OR OR RED WHITE BLUE WHITE GO FASTER SLOW DOWN SPORT DIVER S FLAG CODE ALPHA FLAG OK AFTER FALL SKIER IN WATER CUT MOTOR BACK TO DOCK 1.10

21 SECTION 1 SAFETY IN GENERAL When engaged in water sports, be safe and courteous to others sharing the water: Be considerate to fishermen. Do not water ski in congested areas. Keep the boat and skier away from navigation markers. Stay well clear of other boats and skiers. 15. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Prevention is the safest approach. We hope that you are never involved in an emergency situation. If you are involved in an emergency situation, it is imperative that you know how to react, in order to protect the lives in your care. ASSISTING OTHER BOATERS All boaters have a legal obligation to help other boaters who are in distress, as long as rendering assistance does not endanger you, your passengers or your boat. A. MEDICAL EMERGENCY You may be far from professional medical help when you are boating. At least two people on board your boat should be CPR certified, and should have taken a first aid course. Equip your boat with a first aid kit. B. WATER RESCUE A person who has fallen overboard will die from hypothermia in water temperatures below 70 o F if not rescued quickly. Water rescue consists of three steps: returning to the victim, making contact with the victim, and getting the victim back on board. RETURNING TO THE VICTIM Immediately make everyone aware of the incident and keep the victim in sight. Slow the boat and keep pointing toward the person overboard. At night, direct the best available light source at the person. Throw a life preserver, even if the person is wearing a PFD. It will serve as another marker. MAKING CONTACT Stop or slow the boat and circle toward the victim. Try to approach heading into the wind or into the waves. Keep the victim constantly in sight. When almost alongside, stop the engine in gear to prevent propeller windmilling. GETTING BACK ABOARD Try to reach the victim with a pole, or by throwing a life preserver. Do not swim to rescue the victim, except as a last resort. Assist the person in boarding the boat. The person should normally be brought in over the stern. If the person is injured or cannot get into the boat, a rescuer should put on a PFD with a safety line attached to the boat and enter the water to assist the victim. Handle the victim with care. Spinal injuries may have occurred. C. FIRE Fire is a serious boating hazard. Boats will burn quickly. Do not remain on board and fight a fire for more than a few minutes. If the fire cannot be extinguished within a few minutes, abandon the boat. Have fire extinguishers handy. A small fire can be extinguished quickly with the right size and type of fire extinguisher. Extinguish smoking materials, shut off blowers, stoves, engines and generators. 1.11

22 SECTION 1 SAFETY Throw burning materials overboard, if possible. If the fire is accessible, empty the contents of fire extinguishers at the base of the fire. If the fire is in the engine compartment and you have an automatic extinguisher for the engine, wait 15 minutes before opening the compartment. Have a portable extinguisher ready in case the fire flares up. Signal for help. Grab distress signals and survival gear. Put on PFDs. Prepare to abandon ship. D. FLOODING, SWAMPING AND CAPSIZING In the event of flooding, swamping or capsizing: Try to shut off engines, generators and blowers, before leaving the boat. Have everyone put on Personal Flotation Devices (PFD s). Account for all who were on board. If the boat is floating stay with the boat. Hang on, or climb on the boat and signal for help. Only as a last resort should you attempt to swim to shore - it is further away than it looks and you can tire and drown. E. COLLISIONS AND LEAKING In the event of collision and leaking: Slow down or stop to reduce water intake, unless maintaining speed will keep the hole above water. Switch on bilge pumps. If equipped, operate the manual bilge pump if the powered bilge pumps can t handle the water flow. Account for everyone on board and check for injurys. Have everyone put on PFDs Stay with the boat. Signal for help. If a leak patch is attempted, it should be done from the outside. In the event of a collision, you are required to file an accident report. Contact a state enforcement agency or the nearest Coast Guard office. If you are boating outside of U.S. waters, consult the nation you are visiting for accident reporting requirements. F. GROUNDING In the event of running aground: Check for leaks. If water is coming in, stop the intake of water before attempting to get the boat free. Inspect for damage to the hull, propulsion and steering systems. Determine if the tide, wind and current will drive the boat harder aground or will help to free it. Determine the water depth all around the boat, and the type of bottom (sand, mud, rocks, etc.). If it can be done without exposing persons to risk of injury, the boat should be moved away from hard obstructions and toward open water with soft ground. Do not attempt to have your boat towed by other than a trained and competent service, such as the Coast Guard or a salvage company. Recreational craft are not designed to tow other recreational craft. G. PROPULSION, CONTROL OR STEERING FAILURE: If the drive train fails, or controls or steering do not respond properly at all: Shut off engine. Put out the anchor to prevent drifting.

23 SECTION 1 SAFETY Determine whether or not you can repair the problem yourself. See the proper manuals for assistance in troubleshooting the engine, steering and engine controls. If you are not sure you can fix the problem, or if conditions are adverse, signal for help. 16. SAFETY HOTLINES The safety information in the preceeding pages gives only the general areas of concern for boating safety. It is not intended to be, nor can it be, exhaustive. You must take a boating safety course, and get hands-on instruction in the proper and safe operation of your boat from experienced persons before cruising. The U.S Coast Guard offers many pamphlets on safety and other information not covered in this book. Contact your local Coast Guard unit or call the tollfree safety hotlines below for information.

36 SECTION 2 GENERAL BOAT ARRANGEMENT 10. DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR CONTROLS A. GEAR SHIFT AND THROTTLE CONTROL The shift/throttle control unit for the engine activates by the the shifting mechanism and the throttle (Figure 2.8.1). The control must be in neutral position to start your engine. Moving the lever forward first engages the forward gear. Further forward movement increases engine speed and propeller RPM, moving the boat faster. To shift to reverse, bring the control lever back to the neutral position, then move it further back to engage the reverse gear. Further rearward movement of the lever increases engine speed and propeller RPM, moving the boat faster in reverse. The throttle Only mechanism (Figure 2.8.1) may differ from one style gear/throttle unit to another. Refer to your Gear Shift & Throttle Manual for proper operation of this feature. The throttle control adjusts the RPM of the engine and thus, the rotational speed of the propeller. Regulating the RPM of the engine controls the speed of the boat. Forward motion creates forward moving water called a following wake. If the boat is moving forward and the shift/throttle is moved quickly from forward to reverse, the boat will stop rapidly and then move backward. The following wake continues to move forward and can rise above the transom and flood the boat. GEAR SHIFT AND THROTTLE CONTROL (FIG ) THROTTLE LOCK BUTTON FORWARD FASTER NEUTRAL IDLE POWER TRIM SWITCH REVERSE FASTER! CAUTION Cockpit can fill with water if boat is moving forward, when it is put into reverse. Before shifting into reverse, shift to neutral, wait for boat to stop moving forward, then shift into reverse. Do not shift into reverse to quickly. Wait for the following wake to dissapate. B. POWER TRIM UNIT AND GAUGE IGNITION SHUTDOWN SWITCH LANYARD AND CLIP THROTTLE ONLY BUTTON (PUSH IN AND HOLD WHILE MOVING SHIFT LEVER FORWARD) The power Trim allows the operator to raise and lower the stern drive unit while underway to provide the ideal boat angle (in relation to water surface) for a given load and water condition (Figure 2.8.2). Trimming UP rotates the stern drive and propeller away from the transom. Trimming DOWN rotates the stern drive and propeller closer to the transom. Shift/throttle controls are equipped with a throttle only mechanism which allows the shift mechanism to be disengaged from the throttle. This allows the throttle to be advanced without shifting the transmission when starting. It may be necessary to use the throttle only button in order to pump fuel into the engine for ease in starting. 2.8 When the stern drive is trimmed DOWN, the bow of the boat is being forced down. If the trim is in the full DOWN position when accelerating from idle to plane, the boat will plane faster with less bow rise. Once on plane, the stern drive unit can be trimmed UP slightly. This will raise the bow of the boat slightly and increase speed. You will need to try small differences in the stern drive position to determine the trim position you prefer under various conditions.

37 SECTION 2 GENERAL BOAT ARRANGEMENT EFFECTS OF POWER TRIM (FIG ) the drive unit reaches the end of upward travel. The mechanism that raises the lower unit will stop operating at the end of the upward travel. To bring the drive unit down into boating position, push the power trim switch down. Down Up Down Trim Trim Up D. TRANSOM TRAILER TRIM SWITCH (OPTIONAL) A transom-mounted power trim switch (Figure 2.8.2) is available for the convenience of raising the drive unit to the TRAILERING position while at the rear of the boat. Down Trim Up! CAUTION Use transom-mounted power trim switch to tilt for trailering only. Tilting drive unit into trailering zone while underway can damage the drive unit or engine. TRANSOM TRAILER TRIM SWITCH (OPTIONAL) (FIG ) If you raise the stern drive up to far while you are on plane, you could cause a loss of speed and power due to condition called propeller ventilation. If this happens, there will be a sudden increase in engine RPM and loss of speed. Do not let this condition exist. Immediately reduce your engine RPM and trim the outdrive DOWN slightly until engine slows down and you regain forward speed. The trim gauge indicates the position of the stern drive relative to the transom. REFER TO YOUR ENGINE OPERATOR S MANUAL FOR PROPER TRIM GAUGE SETTING. C. TRAILER SWITCH The trailer switch (power trim switch) (Figure 2.8.1) is not to be confused with the power trim function. The trailer switch is to be used only when the engine is OFF. The trailer switch allows the drive unit to be raised for trailering, beaching and launching. To operate, press and hold the trailer switch (Figure 2.9.2) until E. TRIM TABS The trim tabs (Figure ) are DIFFERENT from the stern drive unit trim control. The trim tabs are two flat plates, hinged below the water line on the transom at the rear and are raised and lowered hydraulically by using the rocker switches located at the helm. (Figure 2.6.1). 2.9

The twisting effect of propeller torque is especially pronounced when running the engine at high horsepower output. To correct the listing, adjust the trim tabs to level the boat. When the boat is level, right to left, the steering effort will be the same for right and left turns. Lower the trim tabs on the listing (lower) side by pushing the top half of the rocker switch in one-half second bursts until the boat is righted. Using both switches to lower both tabs on a sideto-side balanced boat will lower the bow, when on plane, if the rear of the boat is highly loaded. Again, use only short bursts of the rocker switches to adjust the trim. When running at cruising speed, the trim tabs should be fully up, unless the rear is heavily loaded. In heavy following seas or when running in an inlet, best maneuverability is obtained with a bow high attitude. To be sure the tabs are full up, push the bottom halves of the rockers for several seconds. RUNNING ATTITUDE LIST PUSH BOW UP...

IGNITION SHUTDOWN SWITCH (STANDARD ON SIDE MOUNT CONTROLS) The purpose of the ignition shutdown switch (Figure ) is to shut down the engine, if the operator unintentionally leaves the helm. Situations in which this could occur are rough water, bad weather and other adverse boating conditions. In these situations, the safety of the boat and its passengers is enhanced by using the ignition shutdown switch, since the boat will stop when the operator can no longer control the boat. However, unintentional engine shutdown may result in unintentional harm. For example, a passenger may lose balance and fall, or control could be lost during docking. No specific guidelines can be given for switch use. The ultimate decision of when to use 2.10

TACHOMETER AND HOUR METER The tachometer (Figure ) indicates the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine. (It does not indicate the speed of the boat.) Your Engine Operator s Manual indicates the maximum full throttle RPM at which your engine should operate. This must not be exceeded or serious engine damage will occur. The tachometer should also be used to determine the most comfortable and economical cruising RPM. an ignition shutdown switch, rests with the operator or owner. TACHOMETER WITH HOURMETER (FIG ) When the switch is used, the operator must securely clip the lanyard to their belt or clothing so that if the operator falls overboard or into the boat, the switch is activated and the engine shuts down. To reset the ignition shutdown switch after it has been activated, simply reinstall the switch clip above the shutoff switch and flip the switch to the UP position RPM X HOURS G. ENGINE ALARM SYSTEM (ONLY ON CERTAIN ENGINES)! CAUTION Always check oil pressure and water gauges while moving, even if your engine has an alarm. Shut down engine immediately if gauges are not in normal ranges, or alarm sounds. Do not restart engine until problems are corrected. The engine Operator s Manual will tell you if your engine is equipped with an audible alarm and how to use it. The alarm indicates a problem with engine water temperature, oil pressure and/or stern drive oil level. The hourmeters measure cumulative hours of operating time. The hourmeter should be used to keep a careful log of engine maintenance as well as performance data and fuel consumption. Do not leave ignition key ON with the engines off, as this will increase the engine hours on the hourmeter. B. OIL PRESSURE, WATER TEMPERATURE, VOLTMETER AND FUEL GAUGES These gauges function on your boat the same way they do on your car or truck. You must continually check these gauges visually to make certain there are no engine system problems even if your boat engine has an alarm system. 2.11

40 SECTION 2 GENERAL BOAT ARRANGEMENT C. MAGNETIC COMPASS Your compass (See Figure 2.6), properly corrected, will indicate magnetic North (not true North). A compass must be adjusted by a qualified person. The reason for this is that nearby instruments or objects containing magnets or current-carrying electrical wires will influence the compass reading. This is especially true if you add electronic devices to the helm station. After your compass has been professionally adjusted. You will be given a deviation card or chart indicating the correction to be applied when laying out a compass course or making navigational calculations. Keep this correction card or chart at the helm. NOTE: The compass adjustment is only good for the equipment arrangement that existed at the time of the adjustment. If you place different equipment or remove equipment from the vicinity of the compass, you cannot rely on the compass reading. The compass must be readjusted by a qualified person after equipment is added or removed from the vicinity of the compass. NOTE: The compass roses shown on navigational charts have both true North and magnetic North directions superimposed. Make certain you plot course compass directions from the magnetic North compass rose. When not in use, the compass should be protected from excessive and prolonged sunlight. If your compass becomes sluggish or erratic, it should be serviced by an authorized repair station. 12. NAVIGATION AND ANCHOR LIGHTS Navigation lights (Figure ) MUST be on while underway from sunset to sunrise or in conditions of reduced visibility. Underway means the boat is not docked or at anchor. Trolling or drifting with engine off is considered underway and navigation lights must be used. NAVIGATION AND ANCHOR LIGHT SWITCHES (FIG ) NAVIGATION LIGHT SWITCH If you are anchored in open water, i.e. where other boats can approach yours, you must display your anchor light (Figure ): a white light that can be seen from all possible directions, i.e. 360 degrees.

Use a trailer that can properly support the boat s weight and shape. Get professional help in picking the right trailer for your boat. 3.1

42 SECTION 3 USING YOUR BOAT 2. TRAILER LAUNCHING AND LOADING Your trailer must be capable of carrying the boat s weight as well as supporting the boat near the keel, front (bow) and rear (stern) areas. Using a trailer not designed to support the boat properly, can cause structural damage to the hull. A damaged hull can be unsafe. PROPER TOWING OF A BOAT AND TRAILER REQUIRES SPECIAL SKILLS. MAKE CERTAIN YOU PRACTICE HOW TO MANEUVER A BOAT AND TRAILER AND GET TRAINING BEFORE TOWING, LAUNCHING AND LOADING YOUR BOAT. 3. FUELING THE BOAT The fuel fill cap is located on the deck on the left (port) side of the boat (Figure 3.2.1). Do not mistake the water tank fill and waste pump out caps for the gasoline fill cap.! DANGER FUEL FILL LOCATION (FIG ) FUEL TANK VENT FUEL FILL OPENING FUEL FILL CAP DANGER NOTICE TAG NO SMOKING GASOLINE VAPORS ARE EXPLOSIVE NOTICE GASOLINE RECOMMENDATIONS Minimum octane rating of 87 AKI. Refer to the engine owner s manual for additional information! DANGER Gasoline vapors can explode from static electricity if fueling is not done properly. Read and understand this section WATER FILL PLATE FUEL FILL PLATE WASTE PUMP OUT PLATE Refer to your engine manual for the proper grade of gasoline. BEFORE FUELING Fuel during daylight hours. If possible, position boat with the left (port) side against the fueling dock so that the fuel fill cap is easily accessible from the dock. 3.2

43 SECTION 3 USING YOUR BOAT If the right (starboard) side of the boat is against the dock, remember that the fuel cap is on the other (port) side of the boat. Do not confuse the waste pump out cap with the fuel fill cap. FUEL FILL LOCATION (FIG ) Tie boat to the dock. Shut off engine, bilge blower and all other electrical equipment. Shut off gas burning appliances (gas stove, etc.). Close all hatches, doors and keep engine compartment closed to prevent gasoline fumes from entering the cabin or cockpit area. All passengers must leave the boat, as a precaution. WATER FILL FUEL FILL WASTE PUMP OUT (OPTIONAL) There must be no smoking or any flames within 20 feet of the boat, before, during and for at least 5 minutes after fueling is completed. Open fuel fill cap and insert hose nozzle into the fuel fill opening. Fuel fill hose nozzle must contact the fuel fill opening BEFORE adding fuel to prevent discharge of static electricity. FILLING THE TANK Check the fill plate label to ensure that fuel is placed ONLY in the fuel tank. The fuel fill plate is located on the port aft section of your boat (Figure 3.2.1). Keep nozzle in contact with fuel fill opening at all times during fueling. Listen as tank fills and stop adding gasoline before it spills from the vent. Gasoline must have room for expansion. AFTER FILLING DO NOT wash spilled fuel overboard. Wipe up any spill with rags or paper towels and dispose of them properly on shore. Open engine compartment and check for gasoline fumes. Leave compartment open until no odor is apparent. Close compartment. If fumes in the engine compartment do not disappear, do not turn on blower or start engine. Get help from trained and experienced persons before using the boat. Turn on blower for four minutes, then restart engine. Assist passengers back into the boat. 4. BOARDING DO NOT overload the boat. Refer to Coast Wet decks are slippery.! WARNING You can be seriously injured if you slip and fall. Wear slip-resistant footwear secured to your feet and hold onto rails or boat structure. Guard capacity plate located near the helm (See Figure ), and load to less than capacity in adverse conditions. Board one person at a time and give assistance as needed. 3.3

44 SECTION 3 USING YOUR BOAT Transfer gear and equipment by handing it from a person on the dock to a person on board. You can lose your balance and be injured if you attempt to board while carrying equipment or gear. Distribute the weight of equipment and passengers as evenly as possible to keep the boat balanced. Stow gear and equipment so that it is accessible, but everything is to be stored in places so as to prevent it from flying about if the boat encounters rough water or weather. Before the operator does any high-speed maneuvers or rapidly accelerates or decelerates the boat, passengers must be warned to sit and hold on and must heed the warning. The operator may have to make rapid changes in speed and/or direction to avoid a problem, with little or no time for alerting passengers. It is critical that all passengers be seated in the designated seating areas and holding on to prevent falling overboard or getting knocked about in the boat at all times when the boat is underway. 7. STARTING THE ENGINES 5. PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES (PFD S) Operator must instruct all passengers on location and use of PFD s (See Section 1- Safety, page 4 for type and usage). Children less than sixteen (16) years of age and all non-swimmers, adults as well as children, must wear properly-sized PFDs at all times when aboard. ALL passengers should wear PFDs. By the time someone falls overboard, it can be to late for them to put on a PFD and fasten it properly. This is especially true in colder waters, below 70 o F, where survival time, before hypothermia sets in, is measured in minutes. If there are passengers not wearing PFDs, the PFDs must be readily accessible. Readily accessible means out of the storage bag and unbuckled. All throwable flotation devices (cushions, rings, etc.) must be right at hand. 6. PASSENGER INSTRUCTION AND LOCATION Everyone on board must be told about the boat s behavior from starting to getting up on plane.! DANGER Gasoline vapors can explode Before starting the engines, open engine compartment and check for gasoline smell. If you smell gasoline, do not start engine; get everyone off the boat and get trained help to find and fix the problem. If there is no gasoline smell, perform checks specified by manual, then and only then, close engine compartment and run blower for at least 4 minutes before starting. The engine operation and maintenance manual furnished with your boat describes pre-start and starting procedures. We urge you to thoroughly read and understand your engine manual. Listed below are basic pre-start and starting reminders. These are not a substitute for the engine manufacturer s specific recommendations. Open the engine compartment and check for the smell of gasoline. IF YOU SMELL GASOLINE, get everyone off the boat, do not operate any electrical switches or light any matches, lighters, etc. Get trained help to find and fix the problem, before starting the engine or operating any switches on the boat. 3.4

45 STOP ENGINE BEFORE SWITCHING OFF SECTION 3 USING YOUR BOAT If you DO NOT smell gasoline.. 1. Check all fluid levels and any other necessary checks as specified in Section 8 and in the engine manual. 2. Check that water level in bilge is minimal. Verify that the bilge pump is operating by turning the bilge pump switch to MANUAL and listening for the pump running and check to see that bilge water is being pumped overboard. 3. Close engine compartment and turn on battery switch. 4. Check fuel level. Be sure you have enough fuel for your trip. Remember the 1/3 Rule : Use no more than 1/3 of your fuel for outbound trip; use 1/3 of the fuel for return trip; keep 1/3 for reserve in case of emergency. 5. Run bilge blowers for at least 4 minutes before attempting to start engine (FIG ) Unlike your automobile engine which is naturally ventilated even when it is not moving, your boat engine compartment (the bilge) does not have sufficient natural ventilation when the boat is not moving or moving slowly. That is why the engine compartment must have forced ventilation, using the bilge blower, to remove potentially explosive gasoline vapors, before the engine is started and when the boat is moving slowly. ON FULLY ENGAGED AT DETENTS MADE GUEST OFF IN U.S.A (FIG ) E Fuel (FIG ) F the boat, it is recommended that the bilge blower run all the time the engine is running. 6.

Discharge is defined as any action which causes a film, sheen or discoloration on the water surface, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath the water surface. A common violation is bilge discharge. Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste, then dispose of it properly ashore. If there is much fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never pump contaminated bilge overboard. Fill fuel tank(s) less than rated capacity. Allow for fuel expansion. C. BILGE PUMPS! WARNING SINKING HAZARD Ensure the bilge pumps are operating properly.! CAUTION Run bilge pumps in the manual position only as long as necessary to remove water. Running bilge pumps dry can damage the pump motor. A bilge pump and float switch are located in the bottom of the bilge (Figure 4.1.2). The bilge pump is activated from the switch panel located on the helm (Figure 4.1.3). B. DRAIN PLUG! DANGER Install and tighten drain plug before launching boat. BILGE PUMP AND FLOAT SWITCH (FIG ) BILGE PUMP Boat will sink if drain plug is not in place and tight. The bottom of the engine compartment is called the bilge. It is the lowest and inner part of the hull. Water and other liquids will collect here. After removing your boat from the water, unthread the drain plug to drain the bilge (Figure 4.1.1).

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Engine failure away from shore can be dangerous. You must follow the recommended maintenance schedule to best ensure trouble-free operation of your engine and stern drive. 2. VIBRATION & CAUSES! WARNING EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD Run blower at least four (4) minutes before starting engine or generator. Check bilge and engine compartment for fumes.! WARNING Do not allow obstructions to interfere with bilge blower or ventilation intake operation. Engine performance may be adversely affected. Some vibration is to be expected in your boat Weeds, ropes, fishing lines, nets or your own trailing lines can become wrapped around the propeller and/or shaft, causing vibration and loss of speed. Always stop the boat, make sure it is clear to the rear, and then reverse the propeller after going through a weedy area to unwrap and clear away any weeds which may have accumulated. If this doesn t clear the entanglement, and you can t anchor or moor the boat in shallow water to get to the stern drive in the water, the boat will have to be taken out of the water. A badly damaged or distorted propeller or shaft is an obvious cause of vibration. Run at slow speed to shore. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY. If the engine mounts fail and the engine can contact the hull while it is running, vibration will be felt. Run at slow speed to shore. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY. 3. IMPACT TO STERN DRIVE The stern drive can be damaged by impact, either while trailering or boating. To minimize the possibility of impact damage while trailering, keep the stern drive raised to the trailering position. The hydraulic system used to raise and lower the stern drive can cushion impact and lessen damage from head-on impacts to the stern drive from underwater objects BUT ONLY when the boat is moving forward. There is no protection if the sterndrive is struck during revers operation or from an angle when moving forward. If you strike a submerged object, STOP THE ENGINE as soon as possible and examine the stern drive unit for damage. Even if no damage is visible, there could be internal problems or difficulty maneuvering. If you must use the boat after impact, run at the lowest speed possible. 4.3

FUELING PRECAUTIONS Certain precautions must be carefully and completely observed every time a boat is fueled, even with diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is nonexplosive but it will burn. A. GENERAL: Fuel during daylight. Check fill plate label to ensure fuel is placed only in fuel tank. Fuel fill plates are located on the stbd deck walkway by the control station (see Fig ). 5.3

58 SECTION 5 FUEL SYSTEM Avoid spills. Know your fuel capacity and consumption. Record the amount of fuel used since your last fill up, and compute the engine s hourly fuel usage. As a fuel gauge backup check, deduct the average hourly fuel usage from fuel tank capacity. Observe the Rule of Thirds : one-third fuel for trip out, one-third for return and one-third for reserve. Allow an additional 15 percent fuel reserve when operating in rough seas. B. BEFORE & DURING FUELING CHECKLIST: Fire extinguisher close at hand. Mooring boat tied securely to fueling pier. Crew at least one knowledgeable person present. Passengers unnecessary people off the boat. Engines stopped. Electrical equipment, including blowers power off. Windows, doors, hatches closed. Smoking material extinguished. Inboard tanks grounded. Filler pipe marked DIESEL. Fuel nozzle in contact with filler pipe to prevent static sparks. Fill level fill less than rated capacity of tank; allow for fuel expansion. Trim fuel weight distributed equally. C. AFTER FUELING CHECKLIST: Windows, doors, hatches open. Sniff test if fuel fumes remain, operate blowers until fumes are gone. Fuel tank secure filler cap. Spills wipe; dispose of rags ashore. 5.4

61 SECTION 6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 1. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM A. DIRECT CURRENT (DC) The 12 volt direct current (DC) electrical system (similar to that in your car or truck) derives it s power from the battery. (Your boat may have two batteries if you choose that option.) An engine-driven alternator keeps the battery in a charged condition. The battery voltage is indicated by the voltmeter on the helm panel. The negative terminal of the battery is attached to the grounding studs of the engine. Ask your dealer for a careful analysis of DC power needs on your boat. It may be necessary to add batteries or auxiliary charging methods to supply adequate power for any additional accessories you wish to add. BATTERIES! DANGER DO NOT USE JUMPER CABLES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. They can cause an explosion from sparks.! DANGER A battery will explode if a flame or spark ignites the free hydrogen given off during charging. Never use an open flame or strike sparks in the battery area. The battery installed in your boat has been selected for it s ability to furnish starting power based on engine starting requirements, as well as it s ability to power the DC accessories attached to the electrical system. Your Engine Owner s Manual indicates the recommended battery for the engine installed in your boat.! CAUTION To prevent arcing or damage to the alternator, always disconnect battery cables before doing any work on the engine s electrical system. To remove the battery cables: 1. Turn off all items drawing power from the battery. 2. Turn the battery switch to the OFF position (Battery switch is optional equipment on some models). 3. Remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable. To replace the cables, first replace the positive cable, then the negative. BATTERY MAINTENANCE Check the fluid levels in the cells approximately every 4 weeks, and weekly in summer and hot zones. The fluid level must be between the lower and upper markings. Replenish only with distilled water. Do not use metal funnel. Coat battery terminal clamps with silicone grease. Keep batteries clean and dry. Battery life is shortened if it is drained to zero charge before recharging. It is recommended that a battery not be discharged more than 50 percent. If the battery does become run down, recharge it as soon as possible. Running the engine to recharge the battery may not be effective. The alternator only creates charging power at higher engine speeds, so simply idling or trolling will not generate enough power to recharge the battery. If you need to charge a battery, use only a battery charger designed to charge automotive/marine batteries. Use charger only when batteries are disconnected from the boat s electrical circuit. Follow the charger instructions. If the boat is equipped with dockside power and an AC/DC converter/battery charger, keep it on when shore power is available. This will keep the batteries properly charged and allow use of all DC powered equipment on board without draining the battery. If your boat will not be used for several weeks or more, and there is no shore power hookup, remove the batteries from the boat and connect them to a charger. 6.1

64 SECTION 6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NOTE: The bilge pump and stereo memory are not shut off by the battery switch. This is to permit the bilge pump to operate at any time excess fluid accumulates in the bilge, which can occur when the boat is docked and unattended. The entire remaining DC system is turned off with the battery switch. C, DUAL BATTERY SWITCH (OPTIONAL) When you are not running the engine and you wish to use any DC system such as the stereo or any 12V DC outlet, it is recommended that you use only ONE BATTERY for DC system operation and save the other battery for engine starting. To determine which battery to use for DC system operation when the engine is not running, follow these steps. 1. Turn the battery switch selector to the 1 position and note the voltage reading on the voltmeter at the helm. 2. Turn the battery switch selector to the 2 position and note the voltage reading on the voltmeter at the helm. 3. Choose the battery with the lower voltage to power your accessories. Save the higher voltage battery to use for starting the engine. 4. Before starting the engine, switch to the BOTH position. This will allow the weaker battery to assist during engine start, and both batteries will be charged during subsequent engine operation. 2. IGNITION PROTECTION 6.4! DANGER GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE Use ONLY Marine-rated parts to replace such items as starters, distributors, alternators, generators, etc. Do not use automotive parts for these components or any jumper cables because they are not ignitionprotected and could cause a fire or explosion. All electrical components in the engine compartment must be ignition-protected to avoid the possibility of creating sparks in a gasoline environment. Protective terminal covers, such as rubber boots on electrical connections, must be in place when engine is operating or when working in the engine comparrtment. Jumper cables are not ignition-protected. DO NOT USE jumper cables in the engine compartment. The engine compartment may accumulate dangerous explosive gasoline fumes/vapors and hydrogen gas from batteries being charged. A spark produced when connecting a jumper cable can cause an explosion. 3. BREAKERS AND/OR FUSES If you need to replace a fuse or breaker, use only the same amperage as the original. It is recommended that you carry spare fuses. See page 6.7 for the proper breaker and/or fuse sizes. If a fuse or breaker is replaced with one of lower amperage, it will not be sufficient to carry the electrical load of the equipment it is connected to and will cause nuisance fuse failure or breaker tripping.! WARNING Use of higher amperage fuses or breakers is a fire hazard. Use fuses and breakers having the same amperage rating as the original or as specified. If a fuse or breaker is replaced with one of higher amperage, it will not provide adequate protection against an electrical malfunction and will create a fire hazard. The fuses (Figure 6.5.3) are color coded according to the amperage and the rating is also marked on each fuse.

LIGHTING Your boat is equipped with a variety of different lighting fixtures (Figure 6.6.2). Always replace a bulb using the type and wattage of the original bulb. ELECTRONIC SWITCH PAD (FIG ) 7. ELECTROLYTIC CORROSION AND ZINC ANODES Electrolytic corrosion of metals on power boats can result in rapid and serious deterioration of metal parts. You must set a regular schedule and look for the possibility of electrolytic corrosion (the deterioration of metals due to dissimilar characteristics when placed in salt water). It is your responsibility to check for and replace parts damaged due to electrolytic corrosion. 6.6

67 SECTION 6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM To minimize electrolytic corrosion of the metals on your boat, zinc anode plates are provided to protect underwater hardware. Zinc, being much less noble than the copper-based alloys and aluminum used in underwater fittings, will deteriorate first and protect the other metals. Stern drives are fitted with zinc anodes on their lower NOTICE DO NOT PAINT BETWEEN THE ZINC AND THE METAL IT CONTACTS, AND DO NOT PAINT OVER THE ZINC. units (refer to your Engine Owner s Manual for their locations). If your boat is equipped with trim tabs, zinc plates are installed on each of the trim tabs (Figure 6.7.1). If the boat is equipped with a Mercathode the stern drive will not have a zinc anode. If the anodes deteriorate more rapidly than this, there is probably a stray current problem within the boat or at the slip or mooring. If the anodes do not deteriorate, they are not protecting the other metallic parts of your boat. This can be caused by loose anodes or by low grade zinc or by not having a solid electrical contact between the anode and the metal it contacts, or by paint on the anode. If the anodes are deteriorating rapidly, or not at all, contact your dealer. ZINC ANODE (FIG ) Zinc anodes require replacement about every six months if the boat is operated in salt water. In fresh water, the zinc anodes can be replaced about once a year. ZINC ANODE 6.7

78 SECTION 7 OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES 2. WATER SYSTEM The fresh water system is activated by the FRESH WATER switch on the helm switch panel (Figure 7.2.1). The switch must be ON to operate the sink faucet. FRESH WATER FILL CAP (FIG.7.2.2) WATER PUMP SWITCH (FIG.7.2.1) FRESH WATER PUMP FRESH WATER FILL CAP To begin initial operation: 1. Fill the water tank from a source known to provide safe, pure drinking water by removing the cap marked WATER located on the port hull and inserting the water hose nozzle in the opening. (Figure 7.2.2). Do not mistake the fuel fill also on the port hull for the water tank fill cap. 2. Turn ON the WATER SYSTEM switch. 3. Open the sink faucet to allow any air trapped in the water line to dissapate. 4. Shut off faucet as flow becomes fee of air. Shutting off the faucet will cause the pump to shut off. As long as the water system and battery switches are on, the pump will automatically provide water on demand. A. SANITIZING THE WATER SYSTEM If the fresh water system has not been used for some time, or if you suspect that it has been contaminated, then it should be sanitized. Your marine dealer may have a water treatment additive that can be used to sanitize the system. Follow the instructions provided with the additive. 1. Pump the water tank empty. Shut OFF water system switch. 2. Determine the capacity of your water tank (your standard water tank holds 8 gallons). You will need approximately one (1) gallon of weak bleach solution for each fifteen (15) gallons of tank capacity. 3. Prepare the proper amount of a weak bleach solution by mixing 1/4 cup of unscented household chlorine bleach per gallon of water. 4. Pour weak bleach solution into the water tank. 7.2

79 SECTION 7 OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES Remember, use about one (1) gallon of weak bleach solution for each fifteen (15) gallons of tank capacity. 5. Fill the remainder of the tank with fresh, clean water. This will further dilute the weak bleach solution. 6. Switch ON the water system switch, then turn on the faucets and allow the air to be exhausted from the plumbing system. By doing this, the entire fresh water system will be filled with a sanitizing solution. 7. Allow the sanitizing solution to stand in the water system for three (3) hours. 8. Pump the water tank empty. 9. Fill the water system completely with fresh, clean water. Turn on the faucet and permit the entire contents of fresh, clean water to run through the system. This will flush the sanitizing solution out of the plumbing. 10. Fill the water system again, with fresh, clean water, and turn on the faucet to permit the air to dissapate. Your water system is now sanitized. WATER PUMP AND FILTER (FIG.7.3.1) WATER PUMP WATER PUMP DISCHARGE WATER PUMP FILTER (FIG.7.3.2) WATER PUMP SUCTION WATER PUMP FILTER B.
